Beef - Steak Stew

2 lbs steak (anything from chuck steak to fillet mignon, your choice; I wouldn't suggest round steak or any steak that is too tough), cut into bite size pieces
1 c. flour
3 tbsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
1/2 large bell pepper, diced
1-2 cups baby carrots, roughly chopped
1 lb potatoes, roughly cut (I like the skin on.)
3 gloves garlic, crushed
1 can whole tomatoes
6 cups beef stock
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste

Salt and pepper steak, and then drench in flour. Brown steak in olive oil in a large stock pot. Add onion, bell pepper, carrots, potatoes, and saute until onions and peppers are soft. Add garlic, tomatoes, bay leaves, and Italian seasoning. Saute for another 3 or 4 minutes. Add beef stock, and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook for about 45 minutes.

Sooo good with warm, homemade rolls! :)
